THE PATRIOTIC DEMOCRATS.
On a reasonable estimate, at least one
hundred thousand Pennsylvania Demo.
crats, who always acted with the Demo
cracy till the rebellion broke out, now
co-operate with the National Union
party. We realize their influence in
this city, and in every county in the
Btate. They include some of the most
learned, eloquent, and influential of our
citizens. With them it was not so much a
desire to join another organization, as a
loathing of the dangerous heresies to which
slavery had prostituted their old party. If
such citizens had any hope of an improve
milt in the leaders or the platforms of the
Democratic organization, in the presence of
the admonitions of the war and the lessons
of its termination, that vision has passed
away forever. The same leaders who ruined
the old party in 1860, and made it an echo
of treason in 1861-6243 and Tel,: rule it
'now; arid, as if to crown the catalogue of
insult and ignominy, they proffer a false
fealty to President .Joinqsobt, with the ap=
parent and almost admitted object of de
stroying his usefulness and embarrassing
Ids action. Better judges of the heartless
ness of these reckless leaders, or of the fatal
tendencies of their sentiments, or of the foul
ends they have in view, could not be found
than among the Democrats who left their
party for their country's good. Where these
upright and disinterested Democrats will
cast their ballots on Tuesday next, need not
be doubted when the column of that once
proud party is copperheaded by such influ
ences as JEREMIAH S. BLAcn and JAMES
BUCHANAN.
"EIGHT HOURS A DAY."
Among the most intelligent men of
Philadelphia are her niechanics. There
is not a workshop, that 15 not in many
respects a school, where thoughts are
brightened and Inmroved, and where
truth is made to undergo taut.t exandna_
sion and exercise which are ever proanc•
live of health and of strength. As a con
-Auence, some of the most profound
thinkers and conscientious advocates of
the Union cause are found among these
men of toil. Lifted above the arts of the
outside demagogue, and capable of de
ciding between measures and men for
themselves, would it not be -surpris
ing if " such citizens could be caught
by the clap-trap that MORTON MC
MICHAEL is opposed to the movement
reducing daily labor to eight hours, and
that his competitor, DANIEL M. Fox,.is the
special champion of that reform? And yet
upon this most shameless accusation the
so-called Democrats place their hopes
Without referring the workingmen and
mechanics to'hlr. liklecnazn's warm and
genial letter to .the Trades' Union com
mittee, the best .standard by which to try
all such charges is the record of, the poli
ticians who are now appealing to the work
ingmen of Philadelphia. Is there anything
in this record to awaken enthusiasm or in
spire confidence ? What one act . beneficial
to labor, skilled or unskilled, can be proved
upon Mr. FOX and his associates ? Do we
find it in their notorious sympathy with the
British free-traders , ? Or is it in their stdlid
silence or open hate of the Union cause all
through the wail The amazing develop.
ments and improvements in mechanics and
manufactures, and the hundreds of thou
sands of working people employed, and
still employed, at the highest wages, are
glorious triumphs and benefactions secured
in spite of the factious, and distracting,
and almost treasonable course of the party
schemers who oppose MORTON MCMI
CHAEL.
It, would be a sorry compliment to the
loyal statesmen and newspapers that haye
always eo•operated with and sustained the
Trades' Unions of Philadelphia—and
among these have never been found the
aristocratic leaders of the present Demo
cracy—if the intelligent mechanics of this
city, in view of all the facts of the case,
and in defiance of the too-recent treason
of the Democratic chiefs, should allow them
selves to be caught and cheated by the
transparent tricks of a few desperate Cop
perhead politician%

The Freedmen in Arkansas.
Reports received at the Freedmen's Bureau
from Arkansas represent freedmen's affairs in
that State to be in a more encouraging condi
tion. Labor is scarce, many of the freedmen
having returned to their original States, and
the planters are hiring farmer slaves by the
month, paying them from ton to fifteen dollars
each. The colored lessees of farms are doing
well, raising large crops, while other freed
men have interests in crops being raised by
planters. On the freedmen's home-farms at
Pine Bluff a, School-house has been erected,
and an orphan asylum is now being built. The
cotton on this farm looks well and will realize
about two thousand live hundred bales, and
from Ave to ten thousand bushels of MUM
seed.

TESTIMONY IN HANMONY Wrrir. TEE
VIEWS OF THAT JOVNNAL.
WAsuntaTort, Oct. S.—Augustus Ricoh, of the
Bth Pennsylvania Cavalry, testified that he
Was taken as prisoner to AndersOnville that
Captain Wirz was sick in August, and con
tinned so for a month; in the meanwhile Lieu.
tenant Davis was in command ; he never heard
nor saw Captain Wirt shoot or injure a man.
Cross-examined by Colonel Chipman.—The
witness wag the hostler of Captain Wirz, and
obtained the' place outside the stockade be
cause there was not enough to eat within;
those outside obtained double rations • he
drew clothing twice ; he knew Captain Wirz
was sick in August, because he heard so ; Wits
would curse a man for nothing at all hardly,
and would pull fellows along roughly.
Martin S. Marris, of the sth regiment New
Cork cavalry, testified that he was a prisoner
at And ersonville from July 29th to November
15t,1864 ; he was a sergeant of a gang of ninety;
on the 10th of September the prisoners com
menced removing the dead line ; it continued
down until the middle of October.
The prisoners had unrestricted intercourse
with everybody ; about this time Capt. Wits
ordered a sutler to leave the stockade for ex
tortion, telling the boys to help themselves
.afrom the stock of goods, but reserving the po
tatoes and other vegetables for the sick; Capt.
Wirz said to him and other sergeants that the
camp had been re-organized., and that the pro
visions would be more abundant and regular ,•
the captain also increased the rations and
supply of wood, and permitted the men in
squads, under guard,, to go out every
day, and cut and bring in wood ; such priso
ners as had no blankets and tents were
permitted to gather pine.tops he (witness)
never heard of Wirz shooting or maltreating
prisoners,. he did not see him commit actual
violence, but had heard him " cuss the men •
the main avenue was lined with stores and
trading places, while there were many itine
rant venders of soap, candles, knives and other
things; salt was sold by the bakers to the
traders; it was thrown over the wall at night
in bags; about the middle of October he wrote
a note to Captain Wits, saying that owing to
the way salt was disposed of the prisoners
could not obtain a sufficient supply, and re
questing that some action be taken by him in
the premises. Captain Wirz issued an order
prohibiting the sale of salt in the stockade,
anti confiscating the supply in traders' hands.
After this there was a perceptible taste of salt
in the bread.
CrOsS.oXamiued by ColonelChipman.—There
were plenty of wells in the stockade but those d
who acquired them by purchase, or ug them,
kept them for their own use ; they would sell
a cup of water for a chew of tobacco, and this
article was sold, a piece two inches square and
very thin, for twenty-five cents; the water in
the creek was never fit to drink; not being a
trader, he had no extended operation for see
ing all that was goin ,g On in the stockade;
about twenty out of the division -of ninety
.under charge of the witness dted ; ten of
them in the stockade, principally with
diarrhoea; six of the remainder were too
sick to travel to Milieu ; he saw men die
for want of proper . food, - and not because Of a
lack of a sufficient quantity; they could not eat
the corned beef because their mouths were too
sore with scurvy; the witness was never in any
:battle; be was captured by Earley's advanced
guard ; there was not lying by him at the time
either a jug or bottle of whisky; he, however,
could not tell how drunk he was at the time
of capture; be was lying with his face down
asleep when the rebels took him. The witness
Said that he had written several letters to the
New York News, purporting to give a plain
statement of facts to see justice done to a fel
low man ; be selected that paper because he
was acenatuted with the - editor, who was a per
sonal friend. so
Question. Do you notranow that that paper
was in sympathy with the rebellion during
the. War I
Answer. I do not.
Question. Did you not know it was called a
copperhead sheet, and justly so, and did you
not knew that it continually attacked the Go
vernlnent during the war I
Answer. I never knew its character until re.
• cently ; I did not know when I wrote the letter
what kind of a paper it was ; I was asked by
ono of the editors to give the public any infor
mation on the subject I could.
Mr. Schade, one of the prisoner's counsels_, in.
terposed, saying he found that the Daily !N ews
was a loyal paper, supporting the President's
policy, he therefore did not know why it
should be called a disloyal sheet..
Colonel Chipman replied, he wee very well
aware why Mr. Schade did not see it.
Mr. Schade said no objection was taken
when newspapers attacked the prisoner, but
when one of them defended him offence was
taken.
Colonel Chipman remarked that a witness'
competency was the basis of all testimony. If
he he in sympathy with rebellion, without
being in the war, and put himself in connec
tion with those against tim Government; and
seek an interview with editors of rebel sheets,
proffering his services, and writing letters in
accordance with his sympathies, it was proper
to show that he was not a competent witness.
This witness on the stand would be shown in
sympathy with the rebellion.
Mr. Baker said he had not thus endeavored
to impeach the witnesses of-the Government.
When be did so might he be pitched out of the
window,
Col. Chipman remarked that when such &
cloud of witnesses had testified asto the horrors
of Andersonville, and when he found this wit
ness, their comrade in arms, had testified that
Amlorsonville was "a land lowing with milk
and honey,” lie suspected such a witness, and
would attack him under all circumstances, be
cause he did not believe the presumption was
in his favor. Re owed this much to those slat
fering Union prisoners who periled their lives
in defence of their country, and against whom
there was not a shadow of ( - 1 iscreditabibty.
Mr. Baker replied What the judge advocate
proposed lo 00 was legitimate, but the man
ner In which it was conducted dal more credit
to his heart than to his head. As an adviser
of the court, the gentleman did not do lust - Ice

stand that counsel claim that all which had
been brought oat concerning the prison at
Amicrsonyilie - was not true afi attaching to
Captain Wits, and they intended to do all
they could to counteract any wrong impres
sion made on the minds of the cour4o and
they put resits cetable witnesses on the stand
to ithow it. if they, could do away with the
testimony of the Government witnesses they
would do so. Mr. Baker asked that this grave
trial should not be broilght down to the leYel
of a case before a Justice of the peace, where
everybody is either insulted or offended.
Colonel Chipman said as to the duties of a
judge advocate, while in theory, according to
the writers on military law, ho is both counsel
for the accused and the Government. that
theory is exploded when the accused himself
selects counsel. When this defendant is at
tended by friends and counsel in the front and
rear ) , it removes the obligation of the Judo
advocate to act as his counsel.
Dlr. Baker said the questions were irrelevant,
and therefore ought not to be asked.
The court did not sustain the gentleman's
ohieetion.
The erOeteXaMination was resumed. The
witness said he saw Bon Wood, the proprietor
of the News, twice, in his °Mee • he went to him

Andcrsonville ; he did not know how he came
to be subpoenaed ; the witness further said he
wrote letters for the Brooklyn Eagle, and in re
ply to a question asked by Colonel Chipman,
added he did not know that the Barite was
more disloyal to the Government than the
_Yews; anticipating the trial, he had written a
defence of Wirz.
Question. Don't you think it was remark
able that you selected the News and the Eaglet?
Answer. I bad never heard the character of
the. News for loyalty questioned, and I con
sidered the Eagle % first-rate DentoCratiC
paper. .
Mr. Scbade again objected, on theground
that these papers were not on trial, and as he
understood tley were both loyal in sustaining
the policy of the President.
The court overruled the objection. .
Frederick Roth testified las to Wain at Jul
dersonville.
Miss Mary Rawson testified that she lived
near Andersonville, and frequently carried
food to one of the Union prisoners ; Captain
Win had never refused or denied her any
privilege ; he was always agreeable, and Will
ing she should bring anything there; she
never heard of Captain Wirz treating any lady
in an unkind way; the name of her prisoner,
as she Called kiln, was Peter Keen, of the 16th

Rev. E. R. Duncan, minister of the Gospel,
attached to the Tennessee Methodist Con

acle, having obtained a pass from Captain
Wirz to go in at will ; the witness also visited
AnderSOnville in the following February ; he
staid there a week each `time; his MISSIOn
proper was to preach to the . Florida artillery.
Cross-examined by- Col. Chipman. When his
State (Tennessee) went out of, the Union lie
was identified with the act; he went with his
country ; he was a man Of one work, preaching
to souls everywhere,and never thought that
religion should be mixed up with politics.
Col. Chipman asked a question affecting the
witness' loyalty.
The reverend gentleman asked Whether that
was proper
Colonel Chipman said it was, and informed
the prisoner he was at liberty to refuse to an
swer any questions involving himinthe crime
of treason.
The witness replied that he was subject to
the powers that be, and that ought to be a suf
ficient answer.
The court overruled an objection raised by
Mr. Baker, when Colonel Chipman asked, a Did
you ever take an oath of allegiance to the Con
federate Government?"
Answer. I did not; I never was connected
with the army in any Way.
Several other witnesses were mamined and
the court adjourned.

' Rev. Dr. Mead, of Connecticut, from the
Committee on Canons, to whom was referred
the following resolution, viz
Resolved, That the Committee on, Canons be in
structed to inquire into the feasibility of so amend

submitted a report recommending that, the
House of Bishops concurring, the following
canon beenacted
No clergyman of this Church shall enter the army
or navy, except in the capacity of *l:plain; nor
shall hold a raillery or naval appointment other
than that of professor or instructor in a military or

The same committee made a report on the
Subject of the distribution of the Easter
bags to the bishops. The committee reported
unfavorably to the proposed alteration of the
canon, which at present places the distribu
tion of the Easter offerings in the hands of the
rectors, and asked to be discharged from the

Convention 086 . 611.6 ed
We, the Bishops Clergy and Laity of the Provin
cial Synod of the'United Church of England and
Ireland. in Canada now assembled in. Montreal,
avail ourselves of the intended visit of our Metro
politan to your venerable body to renewour expres
sion of Christian admiration and fraternal unity
towards the whole Church which you so worthily
represent.
We have seen with deep regret and warm sympa
thy for your whole Church that one section has been
divided from the rest by the operation of that ca
lamitous civil war which, under God's good provi
dence, has at length been brought to a termination.
We trust that, as the original cause of that sepa
ration between different portions of the Church has
new ceased to operate, the feelings of brotherly love
and of teal in support of the same hallowed princi
ples which formerly united alt the members of your
Church in one body will reassert their claim and
triumph over the external causes which have kept
yen apart, and that we shall, ere long, be able to
witness, with all our old admiration, the onward
sad united progress of your Apostolic Church in •
every good word and work.
Dated at the city of Montreal, in the province of
Canada, this 19th day of September, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and . sixty
five. •
(Seal,) F. MONTREAL, metropolitan.
JAMES BEAVAN, Prolocutor
Rev. Dr. Craik, the president, then said
I have understood that the Rev. Dr. Beavan,
the Prolocutor of the Provincial Synod of
Canada, has come in pereon to present that
document to this House, or to be present at its
presentation; and I hope that he is now in
the house that he ma 'y come forward and be
introduced to the members of this convention.
Rev, Dr. James Beavan, Prolocutor of the
Provincial Synod of Canada,.then came for•
ward, and, upon mounting the platform, was
addressed by the president substantially as
follows;
TBay Ray. rnotooli.ton. !. We have Just re.
ceived from our sister Church assurances of
love and admiration, and I beg to assure you
of our appreciation of those expressions of
love and fraternal union. We fully appre
ciate the effect - which they have produced
upon the country and upon the whole world,
as evincing that the Church of God is one,
f' an army with banners," prepared to work.
together for the progress of the kingdom of
God over the kingdom of Satan, of sin, and of
death. And permit me to say also, Very Rev.
Prolocutor, that when I enjoyed the pleasure
of a visit to your province, not long ago. I was
deeply impreSSed with the fact that God in
His providence had brought these two
Churches together, side by side, so that they
might not only help but instruct each other;
that they might receive and communicate
with each other ; that it was good for them
to be together.
The speaker added that he thought he saw
that the American church had left out what
its sister church alongside of it was illustra
ting to be of great Ilse, and which it would be
well for the former to learner the latter. The
representative of the Canadian church, who
was now present, was not only known to thir
convention in his official capacity, but his
name was a household word in the families Of
the churches as an instructor of the children
Of the faith.
The flight Rey. Prolocutor replied that he
had presented liimeeif before fibs convention
BR his duty required to him to do. Re then
expressed; in behalf of himself and of the
Canadian church generally, the high sense of
respect and deference which he conceived to
be due to the Aural in America.
He continued: We acknowledge in all sin
cerity our heartfelt sympathy withthis church,
having. at its head, that illustrious bench of
Bishops, as we express it, and extending, as it
apes, over this wide continent ; and partlen
larly is this the case when - we reflect that this
church is a 'daughter of the same church to
which we belong, and of which we ourselves
are only another branch. From my earliest
introduction. Into holy Orders, I have always.
felt the deepest sympathy in the welfare of
this church, and have watched its'career with
Unflagging interest. When first intoduced
into your body, on Wednesday morning last, I
was most profoundly impressed with a sense
of reverenee and admiration for that illus
trous body, which then took its place at your
head. It was the most magnificent sight that
Cave ever had the privilege to witness.
We feel that when we loOk at the stability Of
the institutions of your country we look at the
Church in the United States ; and we have ob
served with much interest how, from year to
year, yon continue tO draw in fro all the
their rious denominations of Christ some'of their
best, most gifted and most pious men, to be
come not only members of your Church, but
members of your clergy. And we have noticed
that some of the denominations around you
MO Continually adopting somO praetiee or
principle characteristic of the Protestant Epis
copal Church, and that from all sides there
seems to be a continual' drawing to you;
So that in the providence of God, you seem to
be destined to be thegreat depository of Scrip
lure Church and Apostolic order throughout
this vast nation. •
There is one other element in regard to
which' you will allow me to say a word, be
cause it expresses the feeling not only, of my
self but of many others. You are aware that
the Church of England and Ireland is su_pport.
ed by the State, You 'are also aware: dare
say, that largo numbers of our children are
attached to it because it is supported by the
State. But in the discussions which have ne.
ceagarily taken place of late years in I that
country With persons outsidelof the Chttreh,—
members of other denominations—we IhnVe
found that we needed a basis deeper far .than
/My secular establishment. We have been led
to investigate the grounds of bur Church ItTh■
thority, to go back to apostelie times and to
consider 'the Church as a spiritual body, esta!
Wished by Christ and his apostles.
That being the case, we have greatly
strengthened our hands by enabling ourselves
to point to such a Church, deriving its au.
tbority, with our own, from Christ and His
apostles, and riot supported by the state, Hero
In the United States we have a Church resting
upon the authority of the Holy Spirit itself,
and not supported by the State. This was our
example; this was the instan4ssithat we could
bring forward to show that the Churbh of Eng.
hind itself, from which this Church is derived,
was not.built upon the State only,• that it was
not built upon the State at all ; that the cir
cumstances of its being supported by the
state was undoutedly a barmy accident in 011 T
owl& country, but that that formed none of the
bags or groundwork of the Church. On that
account we look upon your Church with the
greatest interest, and we trust that the great
llesul of, the Church may continue to uphold,
strengthen and'extend it as we have already
`seen it so wonderfully extending.
Now, with respect to ourselves in Canada,.l
reciprocate, with great respect, the sentiment
uttered by your president M. regard to our po
anion, side by side. Welmow we'll that though,
in a few things, you may think there is room
for learning from us, yet, in many things, we
have seen cause to learn from you. You were
before us in the Organization of what we call
diocesan and provincial assemblies;. and I
well remember that upon the opening of our
first synod we were obliged to refer for rules
of order, &e., to the proceedings of your own
eyneda, ' But I fear I have detained the House
too long. I appreciate the mark of resphus
ect
'which you have shown our Church by t
rising upon my addressing you; I felt it from
my heart, And I beg to say, on the part of the
Canadian Church, that we hope long to con.
tinue to learn from each other and to rival
each other, if it so please God, in every Chris
tian word and work.
The Rouse responded in an emphatic amen.
The president then said; Although we [have
already received the fatherly counsel of the
Right Rev. the Metropolitan of Canada, at the
opening session of this convention, yet as he
is now present it would doubtless be a great
gratification to this House to have a more per:
sonar intercourse with him, and to hear from
him a few more words of counsel and encour
agement. I beg to introduce to the House the
Right Rev. Father in God.
The Lord Bishop of Montreal having come
forward, addressed the HOMO as follows :
To such a call I could not remain perfectly
silent, but I beg to assure you I ought not to
trespass further on your time. I cams in here
to pay that deference and respect to your as
sembly of the Lower House that I haveaid
to that of the Upper House in presenting that that
address, and also to evince manifest respect to
Day reverend friend, the prolocutor of the Pro
vincial Synod ;
In reference to those general feelings which have
been already so fully spoken of, I can only re-echo
what has been so well said by my reverend friend,
and also by.your president with respect to that bro
therly love and affection which, as a Christian man
and a Bishop, it is my earnest desire to see continue.
I feel most truly that we have been much indebted to
your Church for the example which it has given us
of carrying out in all its details the Christian work
of a Church in a great community Where they had
to organize and establish themselves. as my rex e
rend friend has said, disconnected with the State,
on which they had been so accustomed to rely in
England.
I do trust that, following that example, we shall
give to the world proofs that the support of the tem
poral power is a mere accident connected with the
work of the Church of Christ. And it is my firm be
lief that, greatly as we value and respect that vene
rable body our mother, the Church of England, she
will yet be glad to look to her children throughout
the colonies of this world to maintain with her the
great principles of the Catholic faith, untrammeled
by those fetters which must, to a certain degree,
operate upon her detrimentally, and that she will
be enabled to give that free expanse to their decla
ration of principles and of action which it is right
that the Church of God should have in contending
with this evil world. Ido trust, then, that in every,
manner we shall cling together more and more, and
give
testimony irgnney not
th like Ten a in l ro separatee.
We have sent home an address from our Synod to
the archbishop of Canterbury, asking him, on his
own responsibility, to call a counsel of all our own
Immediate communion. And I would wish to go
farther than that. I would' wish to see representa
tives of all the Reformed Churches, throughout the
world, to beer testimony in oppobitlee to the false
catholicity of Rome, and that we were maintaining
the true principles of the Catholic Church as it is in
Jesus Christ.
I really feel that I must not detain you from that
great work in which Sou are here engaged. But I
assure you that I s h all return to my own work,
strengthened and encouraged by what I have seen
here, and with my heart warm towards you all for
the kind and affectionate reception which I and my
reverend brother have received at youi hands.
During the delivery of the remarks of the
last and the previous epe.aker, the House re
mained standing as a token of respect.
Mr. A. H. Churchill, of Kentucky, moved
that the House concur in the resolution re
ceived from the House of Bishops.
Hon. S. B. Ruggles of New York, rose to se
cond the motion. He Said that the important
suggestion which had fallen from the Lord
Bishop in reference to a general counril of the
Protestant Episcopal Church throughout the
world should not pass without some comment.
It was a matter of gratification to the speaker
that the fraternization of this great church
throughout the American continent Was but a
concomitant of a similar movement underta
ken by this church to unite, if possible, in
greater fraternity, the Reformed Church
throghout the globe.
The motion of Judge Churchill to concur,
aria appoint a committee to act in connection
with a similar comrittee, of the House of Bish
ops, was then adopted.
The Chair appointed the following gentle.
men as the committee: Rev. Drs. Higbee, of
New York; Hubbard, of North Carolina, and
Cummins, of 1111.11018 l and Messrs. A. H.
Churchill, of Kentucky; Ezekiel P. Charabers,
of Maryland, and Samuel H. Huntingdon, Of
Connecticut.
Jude Churchill moved that the addresses
of the Bishop of Monteeel, Dr. Beaven and the
president of the convention, be placed upon
the minutes of the convention. Agreed to.
The question recurring on the report of the
Committee on Canons, relative to the distri
bution of the Easter offering by the Bishops,
Dr. Vinton resumed the floor. The question
before the body was to alter the canon, which
allOwS the Bishops to distribute the Easter
alms, He "thought that such on alteration
was called for by the consecration VOWS Of the
Bishops. lie then read one of the vows of the
Bishops, in which he promises to give to the
poor anti needy that - which Will supply their
wants. Under these circumstances he sure
ported the alteration. We should enable the
Bishop, whom we call upon to distribute help,
to have the means in his hands with which
he could carry out the vows which we require
him to take.
It bad been said that the dioceses should
have the whole matter in their charge. No
act of any diocese could override the action of
this convention, and he hoped that they would
not be not in such a position.
Rev. r. Ashley, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
thought it reprehensible to have any bishop
called upon to distribute alms without put.
king in his hands the mane to enable him to
do so. He was in favor of referring the matter
back to the committee.
Rev. David Keene, D. D., of Wisconsin, con
sidered the proposed legislation as inexpe.
client in view of the probability that it would
never be carried into effect.
Rev. M. A. DeW. Howe D. D., of Pennsyl
vania, was opposed to the alteration of the
canon, and assumed a decided stand on the
question. He contended that the alteration of
the canon would involve the alteration of
parochial arrangements in all the churches.
Rev. Mr, Stout, of lowa hoped the canon
would not be changed. He believed in the
principle" "Let well enough alone." The pas
sage of such a canon would. so far diminish the
Raster collection as to seriously embarrass
the charitable operations of the churches.
lion. Washington Hunt, of New York, hoped
that by general consent the subject would be
referred back to the committee. The Subject
bad not been very fully deliberated, and lie
hoped it would be sent back for the purpose of
receiving a more mature consideration.
Mr. William Welsh, of Pennsylvania, a mem
ber of the Committee on Canons, hoped it
would not be referred back, or, if so, he - hoped
the title of the resolution would be changed
to read, " A resolution to increase the duties
t f the Bishop and to encourage chronic pau
perism."
Rev. R. W. Oliver, of Kansas, said that it
might be questioned whether this body had
legislative power over the pockets of the peo
ple. He thought it highly inexpedient totake
funds from the Church where they now were
so well taken care of, He thought the com
mittee deserved praise for having acted as
prudently as they had.
Dr. Mead thought that if the matter was re
ferred back without any , tnstructiedie the cams
mittee would bring it back precisely as they
had already reported it.
Rev. Mr. Goldsborough, of Delaware, moved
that the action of the committee be confirmed
by the house.
Rev. Dr. Clarkson -suggested that the
adoption of the proposed amendment would
cause invidious distil/Owns in the respective
dioceses according to the popularity of the
respective bishops.
Judge Green, of lowa, offered a substitute
directing each diocese to provide a fund for the
Ilse of bishops for distribution to the poor of
the iespective diocese.
The substitute offered by Judge Green was
lost.
The motion to recommit the subject to the
committee, with instructions, was negatived,
when the original motion to discharge the
Committee on Canons from,the further con-
sideration of the matter was adopted, and the
committee were discharged, thus settling the
matter by allowing the canon to remain with
out alteration
Rev. Dr. Cumming, of 11111103 9 offered the
following resolution
Reaotoed, That this house offers its profoundest
bratitude. to OM that we We among us to-day our
rethren, the clerical and lay deputies from the
dioceses of Texas, North Carolina and Pennenee,
and that we recognize their presence in our midst as
a token alnl we of the future, and entire resto
ration of the tut on of the Church throughout the
length and breadth of the land. Mensation.j
Dr. Cummings said• that lie did not intend
making any remarks on the resolution, and
hoped it would pass without debate. Ho sug
gested that, if Merited, the Gloria in lxcelsis
should be sting
f Judge Spaulding,of Ohio, said : I hope the gen
tleman will not press -a resolution of that cha
racter upon this Convention. We are prepared
with good feelings to receive our brethren
from the recently revolted States; but we are
not disposed to get down here and do homage
to them for purposely retiring from our midst.
We are:willing to receive them on equal terms ;
and we can do that in an open, manly, way)
without signifying our subeebitieney to them,
and virtually offering a premium to rebellion.
Thomas C. Yarnell, Esq., moved to lay the
resolution on the table.
On the motion, a division of the vote was
called for, Which resulted as follows : In favor
of, 44 ; opposed to 44. So the motion was not
agreed to.
itcv. G, Erolen Hare, D. D., of Pennsylvania,
said: I earnestly hope that this resolution
will pass by the votes of a large majority of
this honorable body. I feel as deeply as any
human being can-feel in favor of the mainte
nance of the national authority for which we
lately struggled, and, thank Brod struggled
successfully. I am and always have been
deeply Impressed with a sense of the duty of
our nation with regard to the negro race. I
abhor slavery. am pained to witness the de
graded condition in which that race are kept
at - the llbrth. But we have something else to
consider, now that the battle has been fought
and won.
If, actuated by fee/ings of patriotism, we
would weld together the Northern and Scalia
ern parts of our Union, we ought to remember
how large a part of the Protestant Episcocal
Church IS influential, CapeCially at the South.
If we now hold out an olive branch to 64.5
Southern brethren (and is it at much cost that
we declare our gratification at their appear
ance beret), how much may be gained through
their honorable imd chivalrous feelings Y And,
therefore, in behalf of the «Luse of the Church
end of the Union also, I beg to say that I was
utterly surprised at the objection madeby an'
honorable member of this House to the reso
lution which appeared to lid utterly imam,'
sive on any sound ground whatever. Airco.
tionately, yet humbly, I call upon my fellow-.
members of the House to welcome, in such
terms as this resoliitian c proposes; our broth?
ren of
Tennessee, North militia anti Texas,
who have rejoiced our hearts by their appear
ance among us.
[At the conclusion of the Speaker's remarks
a hearty amen came from all parts of the
chureli z j
Rev. Dr. Cummins said: Mr. President, I do
not intend 46 debate the QUOSHOII, DM Merely
to say that the resolution was proposed with
a general understanding that ft would meet
with no opposition. I trust that it will pass
without further debate.
Rev. It. A, Dew, Howe, D. D., of Perinsyl
vania, said that he simply rose to say that lie
fully concurred in the remarks of his reverend
colleague who had just taken his seat. What..
ever sentiments he had entertained in regard
to the institution of ala Very, which had passed
away, were not in issue, but he had the most
fraternal feelings towards our brethren of the
Southern country, and he rejoiced to Bee their
presence here. .
'On the adoption of the resolution the vote
was decidedly allirn3atlye, there being but a
Sew dissenting voices,
THREE CENT 6,
At one o'clock Hon. Mr. Ruggles, of New
York, called up the subject ofprovincial or
ganitatiOnj which had been made the special
order for that hour.
The resolution was taken up for Considera
tion.
Mr. Ruggles. I now move that the entire
Matter be referrer} to the Committee on
Canons. The gentlemen composing that Wma
mittee are well fitted to deal with such a sub•
ject, and I hope it will be referred to them.
Rev. Dr. Higbee concurred in the motion of
the gentle Men from New York. It would re.
lieve the body of much labor, as theeommittee
Could present it in a better form.
Rev. Dr. Coles, of Wisconsin, thought that
the general opinion of the convention should
drat be expressed on the subject. The COM,
mittee then might arrange the details.
Rev. Dr. Wharton, of Massachusetts, moved
to amend, by referring the question to a spe
cial committee of nine, which should repre
sent all sections of the country, and all views
of the Church . , and which should report at the
next convention.
Dr. flare, of Pennsylvania. I am instructed
by the diocese of Pennsylvania to offer a paper
on this subject, which I wilt read

Resolved by tMa House, That it be referred to the
Committee on Canons, to Inquire Into the expe
diency of passing the following, Aug iv report to
this House as soon as convenient:
PROPOBSD CANON
I. It is hereby declared to be lawful for two
or more dioceses, existing within the limits
a State or Commonwealth, to establish for
themselves federative conventions or couneils
representing these dioceses.
2. Such federative councils, except in cases
in which they may be authorized by 'the dio
cesan cony:M*46li to act in behalf of these Con
ventions in matters affecting their relation to
the State or Commonwealth, shall exercise
advisory powers only.
8. Bishops presiding in such federate coun
cils shall be invested with no authority or title
now to the laws and usages of the Church.
Judge Otis, of Illinois. The question is now
simply what direction shall these papers take.
In the section of country from .which I come
the people are in favor of Some radical change
in our system. The dioceses are too large,
and the labor is increasing. In any direction .
one may travel live hundred miles from my
city, and find a fertile country, es from this
city to Harrisburg. The change will have to
come sooner or later, for that country will
have a pop may
ulation as dense as China. It,
do for the present, but we want more shep
herds ; the 'laymen need more bishops. I have
in my mind's eye a noble Bishop of the North.
.west, who had gone to a poor diocese, and had
built up the Church in everypart of it. Every
one loved him ; even the Indians loved him.
These things show that the matter must not
be passed over triflingly. Let the committ ee consist of thirteen, Instead of thirty-eight,
and they can consider the matter, and. report
to the convention.
Dr. 'Mead, of New York, hoped that the mo
tion Of 'Megentleman from Massachusetts
would prevail - . The gneation before the Rouge
was one of the most important ever presented
to it. The Committee on Canons is not the
proper committee to which to refer the mat
ter. Thai/labors are already onerous, and it
is not politic to inerease them. It wOnia 'Os
better to refer the matter to a special commit
tee, which could take charge of that subject
only. As chairman of the Committee ou Ca
nons, he begged the House to spare that com
mittee from the duties which would devolve
upon them were this matter referred to that,
Hon. S. B. Ruggles, of New York, Withdrew
his motion to refer to the Committee on Ca
nons.
Dr. Vinton, of New York, thought that the
end would be better obtained by referring the
matter to a committee or one from each dio
cese.
Dr. Wharton declined to accept the amend
ment. Ile thought that the committee of nine
was suMeiently large for all practical pup,
poses. They could attend to the dutieB as well
if not better than a larger one.
Judge 9Lls, of Illinois, said that lie had
moved to have a committee of rdneteen with
a view of recognizing the dioceses of the en•
tire country.
Dr. Mason, of Maryland, asked that the reso
lution offered on Thursday be read.
The secretary accordingly read It, as Pl
lows
Resolved, That, the House of Bishops consenting,
a joint committee, to consist, on the part of this
Mouse, of five clergymen and live laymen, be ap
pointed, to report to this convention, on the eXpe•
diency of arranging the existing dioceses and mis

several Provincial conventions, and united under a
General Convention, meeting at longer intervals,

templated by this resolution could may con
sider the subjAat and roper t to the convention,
They could take no definite action, and a
mall committee would act as well as a large
O no,
,Tudge Otis accepted the prepooftion to make
the committee consist of thirteen gentlemen.
Rev. Dr. ,Wharton accepted the amendment.
Rey. litTWelsh thought that the scheme was
likely. to promote sectionalism, and, therefore,
lie net heartily opposed to it. He would rather
wait until there was a necessity for such
action. He wanted to see the Church working
together thoroughly:Wore any experiment
of Chip. kind WAS tried:. There could be no ob
jection to having the matter discussed in com.
mittee.
-- , ,
On motion, it , was- resolved that the whole
subject Teforredi:to .1n the resolutions of the
Dioceses of , New' York and of Pennsylvania
be'referied to a cOMmittee Of thirteen, to re
port to the convention.
Bev. Dr.,GeorgOiliCummins, of Illinois, offer
ed a resolution thacywith the'consent of the
House of Bishops, the following canon be en
acted
"so clergyman shall enter the military ser
vice, and no Clergyman of-this. Church shall enter
the army or navy, except in the capacity of chap
plain; nor, hold a military or naval appointment,
other than that of professor or instructor in a mili
tary or naval school.st
It was also moved to insert in the resolution
the words, " including candidates for holy or
ders:,
Dr. Vinton, of New York, moved to refer to
the Committee on Canons the foregoing, and
also the resolution referred to theni last year.
He said that they now forbade a clergyman to
bear arms even Alm be drafted. As it stands
no bishop, priest, or deacon of this Church can
accept, exercise, or hold any . commission in
the army or navy, other than that of chaplain
or instructor? , •
He continued, if this is passed as now offer
ed, it will compel such men to disobey the
laws of their country, which would conflict
with the fundatnental rules of the Minh.
It would be radically wrong if we were to
make a law in this Church which would com
pel us to disobey the law of the country. In
ease of an emergency MI clergy as well as the
laity should be called upon to - help Buititia the
country which has protected them.
Mr. S. C. Judd, of Illinois, took strong
grounds in favor of the adoption of the canon.
There was needed something of this kind to
protect the clergymen of the Church, and also
for the protection (Athos° W-h
0 were preparing
to enter the ministry. They should be pro
tected against such laws as compel them to
enter the military eVrviee • and this would
make it a matter of conscience, which they
could not disobey. For his own part, he had
conscientious scruples, and would not obey
the law, preferring to take the consequences
of such action. It ehouid not conflict with what
he believed to be right.
lion. Horatio Seymour, of New York, said
that he supposed that it was competent for the
convention to lay down such rules. They
thought it would shield them from the Meta
of the law. How far can such a rule as that
before them nrotect the gentlemen from the
action of the civil law 1 If that was the pur
pose, it was not well worded. Its real ob
ject should be expressed.. As it was, it gave
no protection whatever to clergymen, because
it merely laid down a rule for the government
of the Church.
He continued ; It /1 1 ,Y9 down no rule of con
science, and is no protection against the eaten
of the law. It was doubtful if the convention,
has the power to pass such resolutions. If
there are those who cannot conscientiously
bear arms, they may put tbemseives on their
conscientious 50i.415163, but we cannot make a
consciettpe for them.
Hon. Judge Spaulding, of Illinois, was op
posed to such action. He did not think that a
member of the Church ehouktl be debarred
from serving the country which had pro.
tented him, when the country requires it.
The Church has had some little credit tor
parte - 140m and he thought that the ;good name
should be maintained. Some of the highest
dignitaries of the Church had been educated
at the national Military Academy at West
Point, and had served in the army, and he
thought a resolution like tills would be as if
these men had turned their backs upon their
Alma Mater. Shall the convention say to the
Government you shall not call into the ser
vice the young men of the ministry?
[Message No. 3, (rem the House of Bishops,
Was received, stating that that house had ap.-
preyed the action of the diocese of Indiana, in
electing Rt. Rev. J. C. Tolbert, D. D., Assistant
Bishop of that diocese.]
Without disposing finally of the question,
the hour of adjournment arriving, the eonven.
tion adjourned to meet this morning at ten
o'clock.
